Mike Huckabee thinks he's funny, tweets racist dog joke

"I trust Bernie Sanders with my tax dollars like I trust a North Korean chef with my labrador!"

I considered simply titling this post "Fuck You, Mike Huckabee." But that's just a regular, everyday sentiment. This post concerns a joke that the Republican presidential candidate posted during Tuesday night's Democratic debate. On Twitter, the former Arkansas made a racist crack while criticizing Senator Bernie Sanders:

Really? A fucking dog-eating joke? This is not so much about Sanders' policy than it is about an excuse to make a hack joke. I'm guessing Huckabee had probably been saving that little gem for while, waiting to unleash it on Democrats during the debate. Probably chuckled to himself when he hit "Tweet."

Consider that this tweet followed Huckabee's thoughts on racism:

Racism exists because we have a sin problem in America, not a skin problem. #DemDebate

Who the hell does that? A guy who is running for President of the United States, apparently.

By the way, you know who I really wouldn't trust with a dog? Mike Huckabee's own loser son David, who once killed a dog at Boy Scout camp by hanging it to death. You really want to go there with the dog jokes?
